Up until now, it hasn't mattered if a few people who've seen our links have chosen to vote for other characters instead, so long as the majority followed our advice and voted for Ryo. But now, if we're hoping to limit the number of characters crossing the 1000 threshold (for reasons I laid out above), we don't want to risk shooting ourselves in the foot by raising awareness amongst fans who might go on to vote Vectorman over the line.


Based on what we've gather over at SEGA Forums, we have 5 characters who are gonna break 1000 at this rate; Miku, Segata, Ryo, Vectorman, and Ristar. Miku and Segata are very likley to be dropped thanks to rights issues(I've talked this over with Miku fans and they agreed not to flip their lid if/when she does get passed up, they just wanted an outlet to voice their support, Segata's also played by a real life person so there's bound to be demands there), leaving just Ryo, Ristar and Vectorman.

Also, there's nothing stopping people from voting both Vectorman and Ryo. Ryo's almost passed her up anyway and he's bound to get loads of support. :P

Should probably mention this then:

We didn't expect the amount of support this got. So what we are doing is first we are gonna present 3 characters to SEGA. When one or more of them becomes unfeasible we drop em and move on the the next one, a "runner up". We were just kind of expecting Segata to not make it(but we will support him if he's feasible as a racer).

too bad no one else really has a chance. It'd be cool to see Alys or Welkin

I've also never really known Fujioka to turn stuff down, i mean he was even in a Pokeon movie.

Oh I know, there's little danger now of Vectorman actually passing Ryo. I was talking about the consequences of Vectorman (or anyone else) passing the 1000 mark, which could happen even if people vote for both.

You're right though, there's some room to breathe with the likelihood of Miku and then possibly even Senshiro facing the chop automatically.

But with similar obstacles being placed in front of Ryo now (like wude says), we have to hope it's enough.

I don't drink coffee, but if I did, that'd be the one.

Yeah, I kind of get this feeling too. But all that matters is that we've taken this opportunity to show how much support and enthusiasm people have for Ryo and Shenmue. What's more is that with the other two top spot's possibly also getting a no no from Sega due to licensing problems, I think it will look kinda bad if Sega choose to ignore Ryo too (when he has no such licensing issues) and thus deny all three of the most demanded characters a place.

I think all that talk about giving priority to characters who haven't been in the first game is kinda BS to be honest. It's about demand and what the fans want, otherwise why include any of the characters from the first game?

I'd like to point out that the "series not given representation yet" was a community thing; We wanted as much variety in the roster as possible. Given Ryo's popularity, people will have a hard time finding a reason to not put him forward. As this has shown, giving Ryo the axe for Transformed was a bad idea.

I think every SEGA fan can live without Amy or Creme and Cheese or Shadow in any racing game again. That should free up some roster space next time for actual interesting characters.

Ah right, sorry, I thought that was Sumo saying they wanted characters that hadn't already been in.
